The real man smiles in trouble, gathers strength from distress, and grows brave by reflection.: Thomas Paine (1737 - 1809)
True gentleness is founded on a sense of what we owe to him who made us and to the common nature which we all share. It arises from reflection on our own failings and wants, and from just views of the condition and duty of man. It is native feeling heightened and improved by principle.: Hugh Blair
There is an art of which every man should be a master the art of reflection. If you are not a thinking man, to what purpose are you a man at all?: William Hart Coleridge
And since you know you cannot see yourself, so well as by reflection, I, your glass, will modestly discover to yourself, that of yourself which you yet know not of.: William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616)

Mother Earth just closed up the drapes on another year and it's time to reflect on what's come before.: Mitchell Burgess, Northern Exposure, Thanksgiving, 1992

What self-control doesn't mean is mindless self-sacrifice or knee-jerk self-denial. On the contrary, it represents an affirmation of self, for it requires not the negation of instinct but its integration into a more complete form of character-one that takes account of more than just immediate pleasures and pains. The self-control I'm talking about means acting in keeping with your highest level of reflection.: Daniel Akst, We Have Met the Enemy: Self-Control in an Age of Excess, 2011
Action and faith enslave thought, both of them in order not to be troubled or inconvenienced by reflection, criticism and doubt.: Henri-Frédéric Amiel
In the eyes of those lovers of perfection, a work is never finished--a word that for them has no sense--but abandoned; and this abandonment, whether to the flames or to the public (and which is the result of weariness or an obligation to deliver) is a kind of an accident to them, like the breaking off of a reflection, which fatigue, irritation, or something similar has made worthless.: Paul Valery (1871 - 1945)
